Freakchild - Poem by Patrick Chapman. [ printed by kind permission of the poet ].

Running in the street

& the house is on fire

& Knowing that I was the one
Who left the oven on

& Grandad is asleep
Or will be till the smoke
Grabs him by the throat

& Flings him around the room
Before he melts from
Beating back the flames,

I wonder what's the deal
With all that noise & That commotion.

Is the fire truck arrived already?

Wow.
